SPI error: FATAL ERROR: command exited with status 1:

[Khaled Karman]

I'm trying to connect to SPI modem and I did tried tons of solutions, nothing worked or even passed the build stage.

can you guide me how I can at least see what's the error? the only error i get for all examples is similar to this.

FATAL ERROR: command exited with status 1: 'c:\ncs\toolchains\v2.2.0\opt\bin\cmake.EXE' --build 'c:\SecureGatewayGen3\khaled\espi\build'

Thank you

Hi Khaled,

Thank you for contacting DevZone at NordicSemi.

Can you please check that SDK and toolchain are correctly installed.

We recommend installation through nRF Connect for Desktop. This video link is basic installation tutorial: nRF Connect for VS Code

the only error i get for all examples is similar

Were you able to build any basic example previously?

Hope a correct/fresh installation of SDK and toolchain would solve issues.

Let me know accordingly. With regards,

Naeem

I installed evrything correctly, the issue is only when I want to use any SPI examples.

Hi Khaled,

Could you please try this sample first and build it for nrf52840dk_nrf52840.

SPI_BITBANG_SAMPLE

[Khaled Karman]

It works for nrf52840dk_nrf52840, but not for nRF9160

Hi Khaled,

Thank you for confirming.

So, there is no problem in using SPI and building SPI examples.

If we look at the sample documentation, it says:

"The application will build only for a target that has a devicetree entry with zephyr,spi-bitbang as a compatible."

You would need an overlay file to include this entry for your board.

Hope it helps,

Regards,

I tried :

&spi0 {
	status = "ok";
	sck-pin = <11>;
	mosi-pin = <12>;
	miso-pin = <13>;
	ss-pin = <25>;
	spi-max-frequency = <4000000>;
};

it didn't work, do you know any resource can work with nRF9160 DV?
